BOUCHER ENTERTAINMENT

be amazed

Boucher Entertainment is

prepared to entertain where you

are! If need a show in Calgary,

Edmonton, Winipeg, Regina,

Saskatoon, Lethbridge, Medicine

Hat, Brandon, or really anywhere

in Canada we will come to you!

You are planning your party your guests are

the most important part of the event and

they will make next years event successful if

this year is done right! What are you doing

to make their experience better? I have

come across some things while performing

that I hope help you make your event better!

Center Pieces

 So you have found the most amazing tree,

flower arrangement,  tower, or candles, etc.

to go on the center of your table. Looks

beautiful both from near and far.... and your

guest have to look around each one to see

the stage because it blocks their view.

Guests now look like chickens playing peek

a boo behind a post to see the show. Or

trying to be a giraffe to look over it, they

could even stand to see then unknowingly

making themselves a great door for those

behind. Having entertainment means that

for your guests you may want to change the

height of the center pieces and find

something equally as beautiful that doesn't

take away from the event. (even at a

wedding the bride might not be seen :(

Sound System?

What type of sound system does the venue

have? Or will your entertainment provide

one? Oh you mean to say that for the 200

person event the venue doesn't have a

sound system? A person could project I

suppose for the hour they are performing I

am sure people would love straining to hear.

Or the system is so old it still has an 8 track

player nothing will plug into that (I am sure

that everyone puts their music on archaic

cassette in these digital days). Depending on

your agreement with your entertainer you

will either have to suply and rent one or your

entertainment will be able to bring their

own, I know I do. That way if the house

sound system isn't compatible with your

entertainers microphones and music they

are ready to perform regardless. Things your

entertainer will need to know is number of

people in attendance so they can bring an

appropriate system. And you will need to

know what type of system the venue has,

and if it is in fact able to accept either ¼ inch

or xlr plug ins and how many! Hearing is

another huge part of enjoying the show.

Unless the guy you got is a mime.

Time line

Timeline is also important. Ie Background

musician playing 5:30-7:15 Cocktails @ 5:30,

Supper @ 6:30, Entertainment @ 7:30

Having background music over dinner is a

fantastic addition to the event. Having a

show where the performer is bringing

people up as volunteers while they are

eating is best suited for before or after

eating is finished. Do you want to be called

up with a mouth full of food?  In order for

your guests to enjoy the wonderful meal

that you brought in from the most

recommended caterer in

city/town/metropolis, you don't want them

to be distracted by having them pay

attention to a show. Just notice that when

you are enjoying eating how you focus more

on chewing and the flavor than the others

around, and the conversation grinds to a

halt when the food comes as people just

want to enjoy their meals. Now splitting

their focus can be done… but it isn't ideal for

your guests which is why as above stated

background music is perfect for meal time.

Also when will your entertainer set up?

While people are there? or before? Me

personally I like doing it before that way my

mics and music aren’t bothering anyone!

Also don’t stress about your time line too

much! Unless the food hasn’t arrived and

people are getting anxious to eat, they will

mingle and be happy with your well

planned and thought out event!

I hope the above information has helped

you and you enjoyed the read.

Happy planning!
